Talk About Cosmetics - Honeybee Gardens Complexion Perfecting Blush

I’ve talked about Honeybee Gardens a few times on Beautiful Basics in the past but they’re such an awesome, affordable, and ethical healthy brand with an all-star lineup of pure and healthy products that I just have to talk about them again and again. Besides, you beautiful gals and guys seem to be really interested in their products and the brand in general, so today let’s talk about their Complexion Perfecting Blush, shall we? Let’s me just start of by telling you how excited I was when I heard that Honeybee Gardens was launching a pressed blush! SO excited. Like, really excited!



I’m a big time blush lover! Blush is one of my favorite makeup products and therefore I like to think of myself as a blush and cheek product connoisseur. Because my illness often leaves me looking a little pale and lifeless I totally believe in the power of blush and using a good swipe or two to make myself look better than I feel. Since I’m so blush obsessed and in “need” of a good blush because of my health problems I like to think that I’m a bit of an expert and therefore I can be quite critical sometimes, and I cannot find a single thing I don’t like about this little beauty. Honeybee Gardens brought their A Game and did not disappoint with this product.



With 5 stunning shades suited for all skin tones this blush is formulated to be silky smooth and complexion perfecting. This formula is a magical makeup wonder! It’s highly pigmented but easy to blend and magically becomes one with the skin giving your face the perfect natural flush that looks seamless, flawless and totally healthy. 



I have the shade Breathless, described as a pale warm pink, and it looks like my perfect natural flush but better. It’s highly pigmented but easy to blend and magically becomes one with the skin giving your face the perfect natural flush that looks flawless and totally healthy. 



This formula is a magical makeup wonder! The texture is seriously dreamy! I have dry skin and powder products can sometimes go on patchy or chalky but this one glides on and feels so silky and so soft it’s like velvet, or something even softer than velvet. It goes on and instantly melts into the skin and ends up being totally seamless. It doesn’t even look like you’re wearing blush, but rather than you have a healthy glow to your skin.

With 5 stunning shades suited for all skin tones this blush is formulated to be silky smooth and complexion perfecting. You can wear each shade sheer or build it up to your desired shade strength. The formula makes for an easy to customize blush that wears all day and doesn’t fade away so you don’t end up with strange patches of color on your face.

Oh, and you get 8.5 grams of product for $13.99 so it’s as affordable as it is gorgeous. As with all Honeybee Gardens products it’s gluten-free, vegan, cruelty-free and made without parabens, petroleum-based oils, alcohol, talc, fillers, fragrances, preservatives or chemical dyes. This blush is made with only healthy ingredients and is even enriched with Maracuja, which has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that help even out your skins tone and texture.

Quick Review - Davids Premium Natural Toothpaste

Toothpaste is something we all use but isn’t particularly luxurious or special, or is it? Meet David’s Premium Natural Toothpaste, a really lavish yet simple toothpaste made in the US (with ingredients sourced from America) formulated with healthy, nontoxic ingredients that help remove plaque, whiten teeth, and freshen breath. 



This deliciously fresh and minty toothpaste comes in a beautiful metal tube inside a lovely box that also includes an awesome and super handy metal tube key. The key helps you get every last drop out so none is wasted. The packaging alone deserves an A++++.



The toothpaste, however, also deserves a gold star. This formula leaves my teeth feeling superbly clean, cleaner than any commercial toothpaste or other natural paste I’ve tried, and also makes my breath so fresh. Oh, and my teeth look a little bit whiter as well!

I’m going to leave this review pretty short because other than telling you how awesome I think this product is I don’t have much else to say about it. If you’re struggling to find a healthier toothpaste than you might want to check out David’s, because I bet you’ll really love it!
